This piece is a fine shallow bowl produced during the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), showcasing a powerful green-enameled dragon design on white porcelain—an outstanding example of the exceptional craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities of the period. At the center of the bowl, a five-clawed dragon is dynamically depicted with meticulous carving and brushwork, evoking the impression of the creature swimming freely within the vessel. The green enamel is vivid and translucent, creating a striking contrast with the lustrous white porcelain, which further accentuates the dragon’s expression and the three-dimensional texture of its scales. A delicate green line encircles the rim, lending both tension and elegance to the overall composition. The form is shallow and gently sloped with a stable foot, suggesting it may have been used in courtly or ritual contexts—its shape reflecting a high level of refinement. The base bears a cobalt blue underglaze mark reading “Made in the Hongzhi reign of the Great Ming,” a notable point of interest in historical attribution. The condition is excellent, with no significant chips or cracks visible on the rim or foot. The green enamel retains its vibrancy, and although there are minor abrasions and slight unevenness in the glaze from aging, these elements contribute to the charm and character of aged porcelain. Among Ming green-enamel wares, a piece in such fine preservation is extremely rare, making it a highly desirable item for collectors and connoisseurs of East Asian ceramics.
